Gwyneth Paltrow's depression struggle

Gwyneth Paltrow found it "really shocking" that she suffered post-natal depression after the birth of her second child.



The 'Mortdecai' star has spoken candidly in the past of how she felt after having son Moses, 12, and she's now admitted she never expected to go to such a "dark place" because she had felt so "euphoric" when she and then-husband Chris Martin had had their first child, daughter Apple, now 13.



Speaking to her mother Blythe Danner for the Goop podcast she admitted: "I think [it] was really shocking to me because I never thought that I would be a person who got post-natal depression.



"I was so euphoric when Apple was born, and I assumed it would happen with Mosey and it just ... it took a while. I really went into a dark place."
